1969 Map of Jal NE

About this map

Jal Oil Field defines the industrial character of this desert landscape, where the Texas and New Mexico border intersects. The late 1960s terrain is heavily marked by energy extraction, featuring a complex network of pipelines and facilities like the Gas Plant and multiple Pumping Stations. In this arid environment, the prominent north-south depression of Monument Draw provides a primary geographic anchor, cutting through the topography of Lea and Andrews counties. The map captures a specific phase of Permian Basin development, recording the exact placement of numerous Oil Wells, Gravel Pits, and a Water Tank. These markers illustrate how the petroleum industry reshaped the surface of the High Plains, establishing a grid of infrastructure across the state line.
